It's early December, and I wonder why the NFL, so replete with cliches and go-to phrases, has yet to come up with a term for those games that come after your crappy team already has lost at least two "must-win games," or an anatomically oriented phrase for when they clearly no longer "have their backs against the wall." For the former, I'm thinking: “The Chargers have a who-gives-a-shit game against the Jaguars Monday night.” And, for the latter: "Man, the Chargers are down on their elbows and asses up." Feel free to use these as needed.
